Timothy Furnish's position is particularly strong, as you can also tell from his other media appearances, including this recent interview on The Hard Line (NewsMax TV) with Ed Berliner. Dr. Furnish affirms that the Islamic State (ISIS), Jihad and Shariah doctrines ARE mainstream Islam. As he has emphatically written elsewhere:

Furnish holds a PhD in Islamic History (Ohio State, 2001), and having studied the Islamic source texts in Arabic, Persian and Turkish, is recognized as an expert authority, working as a consultant on the topics of Islam, Mahdism, Jihadism, Shi`ism, other Islamic sects, the Caliphate and Eschatology in general. He served in the military as an Arabic linguist in the 101st Airborne Division. He is the author of Sects, Lies and the Caliphate: 10 Years of Observations on Islam, and Ten Years' Captivation with the Mahdi's Camps, and operates the MahdiWatch blog.
